PDG Membership Application is Now Available Online| Go to Form PDG Board Still at Work to Make Sure Your Voice is HeardDear PDG Members, Our inaugural year is behind us and we are 170+ members strong, unified by our goal to make off-road racing the best and most exciting racing for the fans, while providing a viable marketing alternative to potential sponsors. In 2009 membership dues, combined with sponsorship funds were used to provide two free practice session to PDG members, as well as $67,000.00 in travel funds awarded to qualifying teams.Once again, race season is just around the corner. The economy has not improved, making it another volatile year for our sport. The PDG has decided to waive all membership fees for the 2010 season, as a result. It is unlikely that funding will be available for free practice sessions or travel funds this year. The PDG board is still at work to make sure your voice will be heard, and is still endorsed by the TORC series. In addition to working with the PDG, TORC has been meeting with Midwest Off-Road Racing (MORR). This group was formed with the interest of the sportsmen drivers in mind. If you are a sportsman driver, you may want to contact MORR at www.midwest-offroadracing.com, to better support your needs. MORR has the support of the PDG and together we are working to improve off-road racing for everyone.

Abrams, WI (January 18, 2010)-The first public meeting of the Midwest Off Road Racing (MORR) group was held this past Sunday in Abrams, Wisconsin. The past three months saw a group of concerned off-road enthusiasts' band together to improve the "State of Sportsman Off-Road Racing" in the Upper Midwest. In the past six years, the stability of the sport has been considerably shaken due to four different sanctioning bodies/series promoters attempting to guide short-course off-road racing. MORR was created to give the Sportsman racer a voice in their future and by the looks of their early accomplishments, the current sanctioning body, Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL, is definitely listening.
All board members talked about the various improvements that were made during continuous talks with TORC and USAC. The combination of flyers and a PowerPoint presentation kept the entire room thoroughly interested in the 2-hour meeting. Terry Severson, TORC Sportsman Tech Director, came up to the front and also announced some of changes TORC has implemented for the 2010 season.
